Can't resist this place when shopping in the area (Tesco's mainly). Food is excellent - especially when washed down with a Pims Number One! We usually have the sharing platter, but there's a great menu to choose from. Since writing the above, they've changed the menu. Still okay, but they've removed our favorite sharer.

Bit peeved, been coming to this place for years. For the last year we've been paying £12 odd for an 8oz steak which is always, just perfect. However, went in last week, chose our £12 steaks as per and we were served this tiny little sad looking steak. Apparently now the 5oz steak is £12 odd and the 8oz is higher in price now. Why? Its the same cut of beef served the same way.....whys it gone up? And now u only get half of the peppercorn sauce they used to give u. Upping the prices but lowering the food 🤔 It's a shame because we do like this place

Came here for the England game, the atmosphere was decent! The app seemed to be very well managed, the lady on it did not seem to stop, never waited too long for the drinks to arrive. It would have been a higher rating but a very disinterested, tall male brought out our food, didn’t look like he wanted to be there and never bothered coming back to clear our table and take away the plates, leaving our table cluttered for most of the game

When ordering the food and drinks the staff were lovely and couldn't have helped us anymore. As I have dietary requirements I had to change a few things but this wasn't a problem atall. The food came within no time, piping hot and was absolutely gorgeous. Will definately return on our next trip to Chester.

Found this place on Google maps whilst looking for somewhere to watch the rugby on a Saturday afternoon, and was not disappointed. Despite it being busy, we got great seats on a leather sofa upstairs on the mezzanine, facing a big screen, best seats in the house, perfect. Easy to overlook the upstairs area, so give it a check if it's busy upstairs. Used the App to order 2 for 1 cocktails and spirits to the table, happy days. Service was speedy, staff were all very friendly. I recommend the bags of chorizo crisps and the biggest bag of pork scratchings I've ever eaten 😁👍🏻🍺

Myself and my husband had a meal at the Royal Oak and not only was the meal in tiny portions, it was so over priced, they are trying to charge 5 star hotel prices in a little country pub. The land lady is very offish and the bar man just talks a load of rubbish to steer you away from the small portions. We have been coming to the Royal Oak for many years now and I can only say we will not be returning. Avoid this place at all costs. If I could rate this 0 stars I would.
